About
Why this artist matters now
Fumihiko Maki is a Japanese architect whose postwar practice centers on spatial composition and the relationship between built form and landscape. Working primarily in concrete and steel, his buildings emphasize geometric clarity and structural legibility while responding to site specifics and environmental context. His approach emerged from engagement with modernist principles and their adaptation to Japanese conditions.
